Great signing lads What is great JC and I am sure what Jackie will appreciate, is that Junior football fans outwith Musselburgh all seem to appreciate and agree what a player Jackie is. A great servant previously for Haddington and Musselburgh, and a credit to Junior football. One of the best Junior footballer I have ever witnessed.

Casey Jones Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Today saw Musselburgh make the longest trip this season to play a league match - 94 miles up to Kirriemuir. Match kicked off 2 minutes late, and Musselburgh never seemed to catch up! First corner was two minutes in, when Chris Gray had an attempt on goal which was blocked by a defender. Nothing came of this. For the next 10 minutes lots of action, mainly in the Burgh half, but nothing happened around the goal mouth area. Musselburgh’s 1st shot on target was byConor Thomson, but his shot was blocked by a defender, and landed at the keeper’s feet. A minute later, Conor plays up the left wing, and and played the ball into Mathu King, whose shot hit the net, but the referee had blown for offside. A minute later, the ball was in the Burgh half with the Kirriemuir Thistle’s no. 7 (no team sheet available for names) crossing into the box, hitch was met by the no. 10, whose header went over the bar. Then in 17 minutes, Jed Davie had a shot which went way over bar. First booking of 1st half came in 25 minute when Kirrie’s no. 9 for a bad tackle on Gary Cherrie, at the half way line. The free kick, found Chris on the left wing, who crossed a great ball into the penalty area, which Was headed towards Conor, who from 2 yards out skied the ball over the bar, when it seemed easier to score. Two minutes later, no. 7 was 2nd player from Kirrie to be booked for kicking the ball away when ref had blown for a free kick. Nothing came of this. Best save of the match, and probably the first of the 1st half, came from our own supporter Mary. Ball came rushing towards the touch line from a Kirrie defender, and Mary quickly palmed the ball back into play! Maybe Mary, an ex- hockey player could be seconded onto the coaching staff to help train Ally and Asher! In 34 minutes, a long shot from Bradley Whyte, following a pass from Gary, was heading towards the goal area, but defender got a touch, and landed in keeper’s arms. Six minutes later Mathu had a shot which was cleared off the Kirrie goal line by a header from a defender. In 41 mins, Kirrie’s no. 9then has shot which never troubled Asher Tufail in goal. A couple of other shots by Musselburgh, again came to nothing. To be honest, I am not sure that either keeper had to make a save of any value in the first half, which ended 0-0. Into 2nd half, and in 47 minutes, Conor took a corner which Eventually fell to Mathu hose volley passed the post. In 56 minutes , Musselburgh had 2 promising moves, both falling to Mathu, and both times he was adjudged offside. In 60 minutes, Ewen Ralton came on as sub for Stephen MacDonald. This was soon followed by Two Kirrie subs no.s 14 & 15 coming on for no.s 6&9. Then in 68 minutes Ewen had a ‘smashing’ shot, which hit a target! Unfortunately it wasn’t a goal as the ball blasted into Kirrie’s no. 5 ‘soft’ parts, whixch saw him collapse to the ground withering in pain!! A couple of minutes later, Kirrie’s 3rd sub saw their no. 17 coming on for the injured no. 4. In the next few minutes a few goalmouth actions but nothing came of any. The 1st and only goal of match came in 77 minutes. From a free kick on the road get hand side of the pitch, the ball was floated into the Musselburgh goal area. It seemed to pass 2 Musselburgh defenders, to the far away post, and I think the Kirrie captain, no. 8 slotted the ball passed Asher, into the net. Cue mad celebrations by the Kirrie players and before the kick_off, Kevin McDonald came on for Gary. Soon after, no. 11 was booked for a bad tackle on Jed. in 83 minute, Mathu had a header on goal but there was an easy catch by the goalkeeper. With 5 minutes to go, the Burgh signing fans got their wish when the long awaited return of Jackie MYLES happened, when he came on for Matti Lynch. With 3 minutes to go, Kirrie no. 8 had a shot/ come pass which came off the aburgh post. Right on 90 minutes, Brad Donaldson was booke, and this was quickly followed with Chris’s name going in the ref’s book, presumably for something he said. Full time, and Kirrie got their 2nd home league win of season, whilst Musselburgh lost their first league game. Couple of thoughts. One Musselburgh supporter thought we ‘bashed’ Kirrie Thistle, but still came away from the match with nothing. I think this was our poorest match this season, with the forward line rather anonymous! I was surprised when Stephen was subbed, though perhaps he was ill or injured? I also thought he played too deep. If I was management - I have no credentials for this!!!!! - Given Stephen’s height and speed, I would have him as an out and out centre forward, with Mathu playing just off him! The goals are beginning to day up a bit, and we need to get back to the way we played at start of season, when goals flowed in! HOWEVER - half way through season Musselburgh are top of league seven points above 2nd placed Haddington. catch us if you can!, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame he never really got a chance to prove himself at Linlithgow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, and injury free I have no doubt that Jackie would have proved himself an asset at Lithgae. However, as my favourite player ever at Musselburgh, I am glad, once again, to see him play for my team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee fan Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Supporters club had Brad Donaldson as man of the match. Really not sure who I would have given it to? Thought Conor Thomson had a good match. Did plenty of running about, got into good positions, but I wish he would pass the ball a bit more. Chris Gray, also did a lot of runs up and down the left wing, similar to what a Michael Moffat usually does when he plays right back. Felt we missed Michael today. The forwards didn’t have a great match, and surprisingly so few shots on target, and those that did, never troubled the keeper at all. A poor match for Musselburgh, but even good teams have to lose sometime. We start again next week, with a home match against Tranent. We won at Foresters Park earlier in the season, and no reason why we can’t do a double over our East Lothian neighbours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeze a break Brycey. That cald weather must have got to you at Bonnyrigg yesterday! Yer T will be oot soon if you keep on sprouting so much rubbish. Having watched the Big rose demolish Nitten yesterday, and I saw some of our players at the end of the match, the incentive will be ours to push on for promotion. I now know where we will get an easy six points in the bag next season should Nitten not replace the Burgh in the Premier League. See you at the match next week, and nain of your gibbering when we speak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
